We usually use object spy in UFT to see the properties of an object be it a web application or windows application. While doing automation testing you may run over a circumstance wherein you need to validate the tooltip of an object in the application under test. On the off chance that you will attempt to catch the property of the tooltip using object spy, you would not have the capacity to succeed and it would be a very frustrating experience and you might be wondering how to figure it out. This article will help you out with how to get tooltip text in UFT.
Well, the answer is quite simple. The text that shows up in the tooltip is nothing but one of the properties of the object on which hovering the mouse displays the tooltip. For example, if you hover the mouse over the question mark object of the HPE Sample MyFlight application it shows up a tooltip having the text “UFT Tutorial”.
